Sanguisorba

  • Potsize - 1L

    Sanguisorba 'Chocolate Tip'. All the wow factor of 'Arnhem' and its smart little flowers but on a more modest scale of plant. The foliage still makes a luxurious mound but is finer in all its aspects than either 'Arnhem' or menziesii and shows a red midrib. The flowers are perhaps a shade darker and the flowering stems are plentiful and rise about 3 feet. It manages to make a statement in the border without adding too much weight.

    Sanguisorba 'Pink Tanna'. This is delightful member of an increasingly trendy genus. Each flower  is a tight pink cheese puff, made fluffy with an all round coating of black tipped, white stamens. The flowers waft in the wind making a see-through haze of pink and white. One of those plants that is lovely from a distance and intriguing on close inspection. A magnet to insects and needs no staking. Attractive foliage, with leaves that are pinnate like a Rowan tree, form spreading low clumps. This is the pink member of the 'Tanna' series of sanguisorba, being about mid height in the range that sanguisorba grow at 60-80cm. Great Burnet, Burnet Bloodroot

    Sanguisorba menziesii. An unusual and rather special plant for the summer border. Lovely mounds of dissected and smartly toothed grey-green leaves emerge early and act as a valuable foil for Spring bulbs. Then in June it sends up lots of long wiry self-supporting stems, each crowded with neat, almost cone-like flowers, each tightly packed with dried blood red florets which then erupt into shaggy pink foxtails. Makes an interesting focal point and especially good as a cut flower.

    This is a fairly new variety. What distinguishes it is its dense, rounded habit and particularly large flower heads which are long and narrow and a deep rich congealed blood red. 100cm in flower, July to September.

    The leaves are sea-green, very like the leaves of our native Rowan in shape, with delicately crimped edges picked out in a bright cream. It isn't an in-your-face variegation, its just enough to pick out the leaf shape and lighten the foliage effect. The cone-like flower heads are carried on stiff widely branched stems standing up to 6ft tall Each one is 3cm long, consisting of dozens of tiny burgundy flowers. Ruddy brown stems add to the whole effect.

    I keep wanting to call this one 'Beaujolias' rather than 'Bordeaux', but then again after a glass or two of either what does it matter, the plant is still lovely. It sits about mid height amongst the Sanguisorbas, half way between 'Arnhem' and 'Chocolate Tip' and about in the middle for colour as well. It is a deep burgundy, (there goes another), less red than 'Arnhem' and less sombre than 'Chocolate Tip' and flowers in late summer on stiff swaying stems up to 1.5m tall.
